of the late eX-Secretary Manning that he
administered the treasury on sound finan-
cial principles, and lent no favor or en-
couragement to the greenback delusion
or to the silver heresy. His physical
breaking down was probably due to over.

from the cabinet, Mr.. Cleveland's admin
Illustration lost its ablest member. Though
he fought with strong will against the
destroyer, the fatal termination of his
disease was only question of time, and
there has never been any expectation on
the part OF his friends, that he could ever
re-enter public life. Though he was a
thoroughgoing politician, bred in reck-
less and INSCRIPTIONS school, he was bet
ter than his party, and possessed many
admirable personal qualities. Among
them was his fidelity to his friends He
never forgot those who aided him in his
early manhood. He was man of his
word. He commanded the respect of his
strongest opponents; and he will be sin
cerely mourned by thousands, of all par
ties and conditions in life.

ing his death had he been confined to his
home. During the past month his malady
assumed Its serious phase, and he gradually
failed, passing away quietly at a. NJ, in
the 55th year of his age. For 20 years he
had been an active worker in the church,
holding the office of deacon at the time
OF his death. He had been honored
by his townsmen with important town
Offices, having been town treasurer for Is
years at the time of his decease He was
elected town representative in 1880, and
IN 1854 was elected assistant judge tor Adj
Olson county. As a man he was kind and
generous to fault and deeply beloved by
all that knew him. He was a firm adj
herer to the law, and supporter of tenn
perance and morality. His death will he
deeply lamented by a host of sympathizing
friends and acquaintance. A wife and
son survive him. His funeral will be
held at his residence on Friday at l
O'Clock
